Description

Have you read the key texts in motivational psychology and gamification, wondering how this knowledge can change the future of education? Trilogy is dedicated to maximizing learning outcomes across its diverse EdTech portfolio, and we're searching for a strategist who can combine the science of engagement with a passion for AI.

Who you are:

  • You view engagement through a lens of human behavior and psyche.
  • You read Yu-kai Chou's "Actionable Gamification" and see a blueprint, not just a book.
  • You embraced the AI revolution with both hands and routinely use LLMs to accomplish professional and private tasks.

In this role, you'll leverage your deep understanding of leading scientific theories like the Octalysis Framework and the ARCS Model to analyze and enhance engagement across our EdTech learning products, such as the 2-Hour Learning program.

Your experience with prompting LLMs will allow you to identify areas in our learning ecosystem where students need an engagement boost. Then, adopting an AI-first approach, you will develop motivational programs, frameworks, or promotions to improve student engagement and learning outcomes. Think of all the techniques that your favorite mobile app utilizes: leaderboards, team competitions, rewards, streaks, and badges.

At Trilogy, you'll join a team that values creativity and innovation in education. Your role is crucial in advancing our mission to transform how students learn, engage, and succeed. If you're passionate about making a real difference in how students interact with learning and have the skills and experience to back it up, then we want to hear from you.

What you will be doing

  • Analyzing student data to identify areas of low engagement and motivational shortcomings in our users' learning journey.
  • Designing innovative programs, frameworks, promotions, and competitions to boost student engagement in our learning ecosystem.
  • Leveraging LLMs to improve every aspect of your job and continue building expertise in driving student engagement and motivation.

What you will NOT be doing

  • Re-designing learning curricula; this role is about improving engagement within our existing learning framework.
  • Writing code; you will focus on the design aspects of the engagement programs and the practical implications of running it while our engineers will provide the technical framework.

Key responsibilities

Maximizing student engagement and learning progression in Trilogy’s growing ecosystem of EdTech products.

Candidate requirements

  • Experience designing, building, and running motivational programs OR developing mechanisms that use gamification to drive user engagement
  • Practical knowledge of scientific motivational models and theories, such as Yu-kai Chou's Octalysis Framework
  • Proficiency in using AI and LLMs to enhance work productivity
